What Is Happening
What is happening?
What is happening to me?
What is happening to me this time?
What is happening
To me
This time
Is a chance to open up
The prospect of trying something new
And totally off-the-wall-crazy.
It is one of those moments
When Microsoft Word
Does not automatically correct your spelling errors…
It is all up to you to remember “i” before “e”
Avoid, using too many, commas,
I used to be a victim of the comma
Instead of a pause, they were
A breath, a blink
The chomp of your teeth down on the trident
You’ve been chewing for 40 minutes.
Well, the smell of garlic is gone
The taste no longer lingers;
Slap on Aphrodite’s Pink Nightie
Slip into Chinese Laundry
And off you go
